provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the NPS; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
NPS enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the NPS
minimize the burden of this collection
on the respondents, including through
the use of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The National Park Service
(NPS) is authorized by 54 U.S.C. 100701
to collect information that will improve
the ability of the NPS to provide
management, protection, and
interpretation of, and research on, the
resources of the System. Sleeping Bear
Dunes National Lakeshore is a 71,199acre NPS unit that preserves natural
features for the benefit of the public.
The park’s 2009 General Management
Plan identified areas of importance and
concern, including congestion in certain
areas and the preservation of designated
wilderness areas. Data from a 2012–
2013 visitor survey suggested that social
encounters would likely increase and
negatively affect social and resource
conditions. Since 2013, visitation to the

park has increased by over 25%, and
32,550 acres of the park are now
federally designated wilderness. Park
managers are seeking data on current
social and resource conditions to guide
decisions to maintain and enhance
visitor experiences.
This study will provide information
on visitor use patterns and user
characteristics during the busy summer
season. The expected outcomes of this
study are to:
• Provide updated information on
visitor use patterns, motivations, and
preferences across the park.
• Examine visitor attitudes toward
management strategies and actions
addressing visitor use.
• Provide information for use in
future planning efforts (e.g., river use
plans, management plan updates).
Results from this study will be used
by park managers to target resources to
inform strategic planning efforts and
infrastructure improvements, update
visitor services and amenities, and
determine appropriate staffing levels.
